I’ve been doing clean-eating extreme by following a Paleo and Sugar-free diet. Really, though, it hasn’t been hard at all. Especially with tons of great food options like these. I feel great so far and I’m looking forward to the rest of the month!

I’ve got to work a catering shift during dinner tomorrow and won’t be able to stop and eat so I thought I’d make something to hold me over.

In the mix I stirred up 1/2 cup coconut flakes, 1/2 cup of egg whites, and 1/2 Tbsp of coconut oil (that’s a lot of 1/2’s!). I baked it at 350 for about 1/2 an hour (seeing a trend).

Yup, I ate 1/2 as soon as it came out of the oven. I’ll be making this again tomorrow so I actually have something to eat during my shift.

I also made up some non-paleo (full of sugar) treats for a work potluck.

Next potluck I’m going to bring a savory Paleo dish so that I can partake in the fun!

Warning – I’ll be stalking your recipe pages to find some new ideas!

Also, does anyone have ideas for Paleo snacks? I’m trying not to OD on nuts due to Omega 6 content but I’m running out of ideas – there’s only so many veggies in coconut oil a girl can eat. Sike, I can eat coconut oil for days, I just need grab-n-go options.

I’ve gushed about Fridge Scrapings before and this is the same idea. It’s what you do when you’re taking care of a bf who is recovering from hernia surgery while working and taking 3 accelerated summer classes. You scrape that freezer clean in lieu of going to the store.

Surprisingly, for the small size of my freezers, they held a lot I had forgotten about!

Thanks, Jenn, for holding another great WIAW party and letting me show off my frozen gems!

I’ve already expressed my eternal blog crush on Lou before but I feel the need to reiterate my adoration for this “fridge scraper.” This woman never ceases to amaze me with her ingenuity and inventiveness in the kitchen!

She JUST posted an energy ball recipe that included popcorn! Usually I “pin” recipes and then forget about them (darn you all for flooding my Reader with so many awesome looking food). However, I couldn’t wait to make these – especially since J is currently recovering from a hernia surgery and he needs all the good nutrition he can get!

I changed the recipe a little bit to make it more savory – they taste like a cross between cheese & caramel popcorn!

What should you do with some Chocolate Protein Frosting? Eat it with a spoon out of a bowl. Slather it on a Chocolate Protein Brownie!

I baked it at 350 for about 15 minutes. You could probably also microwave it if you want to save energy … but I hate energy and I like to waste it.

Does it taste like brownie? Well, I doubt a 5 year old would choose this over Duncan Hines, but it’s square and chocolate and it does the trick! And 5 year olds are dumb anyway, let’s not base our choices on their preferences.
